Did you know?

The average Victorian household generates around 500 kg of waste per year.

About half of that ends up in landfill. The rest is recovered through recycling, organics, and other diversion programs.

Frequently asked questions

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Melton City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Melton City runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in VIC.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Melton South bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Melton City's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Melton South households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
